Embedded Rust Engineer

Embedded Rust Engineer: RUST / Real-Time Systems / RTOS / CAN bus / IEC 62304 / ISO 13485 / Kubernetes/ Docker / Embedded build/debug tooling / IVDR / English

Background:

The perfect candidate: You’re a self motivated team player, who wants to influence your own development. It is natural for you to be proactive in working with your teammates and in working with other parts of the organization. You like sharing your Know-how to help the whole team advance. Bringing in new ideas to improve existing products with new functions and cost optimization is important to you. You’re looking for a company where you have the opportunity to pursue your interests across functions and geographies. Where a job title is not considered the final definition of who you are, but the starting point.

Tasks & Responsibilities:

• You develop concepts and participate in feasibility studies to meet technical requirements.
• You perform and take ownership of specific software development tasks, ensuring reviews using checklists and templates.
• You lead work package definition, estimation, and planning, and enhance or document SW unit specifications and designs.
• You review designs and contribute to the SW architecture, defining quality attributes and staying updated with technology trends.
• You conduct root-cause analysis of complex issues and provide bug fixes for post-market software releases.
• You ensure compliance with processes, propose improvements, and stay informed about regulatory and market standards.

Must Haves:

Embedded & Real-Time Systems

• Hands-on experience developing embedded or systems-level software in a professional setting
• Experience with real-time Linux (PREEMPT_RT) or a comparable RTOS
• Experience with hardware communication protocols: CAN bus (required)
• Practical understanding of real-time constraints: latency, jitter, task scheduling

Rust & Software Engineering

• Proven experience as a Software Engineer with a strong focus on Rust; solid grasp of ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, traits and error handling (2+ years minimum)
• Comfortable with asynchronous programming in Rust
• Experience with Linux and familiarity with embedded build/debug tooling
• University degree in Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or equivalent

Professional & Domain

• Highly motivated, deadline-focused, with a proactive and thorough way of working
• Willingness to work in a regulated environment (medical device, automotive, aerospace or industrial safety) and follow structured development processes
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills; willingness to write good documentation and drive work to conclusion
• Fluent in English

This role is probably not for you if:

• You’re primarily looking for web backend, blockchain, or pure cloud-native work or UI.
• You haven’t worked with physical hardware or low-level systems before and don’t want to.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with IEC 62304, ISO 13485 or IVDR (medical device software lifecycle standards)
• Experience with event-driven architectures and message brokers (RabbitMQ, Domain Driven Design)
• Kubernetes, Docker for CI/build environments
• Experience in agile development environments
• German language skills
